Students will demonstrate their coding skills using the online app Code Monkey. Code Monkey is a new coding application that is currently on the Wake County Public School Systems as a Digital Learning course for teachers. Students will perform a series of tasks in order to collect all their bananas. The design provides the options of using a story mode of skill mode to move forward. This use of technology enhances the basics of coding, which is now a hot item for middle and high school student clubs. Code Monkey provides our students with their understanding of sequential practice as it is used in science, math and reading. Students will engage the audience by demonstrating the features of Code Monkey and be able to speak to specific standards in Math (i/e Order of Operation, Problem Solving Steps, and following directions using measurement and fractions in a recipe, and more). In Science, students will be able to speak to the comparisons of the scientific method and in reading, the sequence of a story to determine the steps an author takes to build the climax the author is creating. Students will support their Code Monkey skills by "de-coding" a book to share their Code Monkey knowledge. The title of their presentation is "We Coded Ourselves Here!" We answer the question, "Why Are You Here? through our title and growth in knowledge about coding and the application of sequential order in math, science, and reading.
